Speakers are extremely important when we are talking about tone. This article will be a (maybe not so) small post about the history of Celestion, as well as a brief description of each model they produced over the years. I’ll simply feature the ones that I think are the most popular and most widely used models. Early years and the G12 Al Ni Co Celestion started as a manufacturer of speakers for general use (radio, TV, etc.) back in the 1920s.

Since 1956, all Celestion chassis drivers have been stamped with a date code (2 numbers and 2 letters), denoting the exact date of manufacture.

Hylight 4x12 100w/16 1 thick rear panel made of chipboard appears original. fitted by previous owner, Steve Lee, who lived in the SF area in the 70s, brought this with him when he moved to UK. Now loaded w/ (2) Fane 122231 (1 cast, 1 stamped) and (2) Fane 122142 cast frame. Two speakers burnt out, so the previous owner decided to not replace the faulty speakers, and cut it to make it lighter. In 1968 the company started production in Ipswich, moving all production there by 1975.The company merged with a clothing company in 1970 and the result was named Celestion Industries, which in turn became Celestion International in 1979.
